Caribbean & Bahamas from/to Miami
Twelve nights from Miami present the classics of the eastern Caribbean in an unhurried sequence, leaving ample time aboard to enjoy the comforts of Silver Shadow. The Classic-class ship combines butler service, curated wine lists and included gratuities into a travel experience that frames the island calls rather than rushing them. The route runs through Puerto Rico, the French Antilles, the Dutch and British islands and returns to Miami.
Route highlights
- San Juan: UNESCO old town with cobblestone lanes and the mighty El Morro fortress watching over the Atlantic.
- Saint John's: Antigua's capital with Georgian architecture at Nelson's Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Gustavia: Boutique harbour of St Barthélemy with French flair and excellent cuisine close to Shell Beach.
- Little Bay: An encounter with Montserrat, the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean shaped by its volcanic eruption.
- St Kitts: Brimstone Hill Fortress, the Gibraltar of the West Indies, with panoramic views of Nevis and Statia.
- Jost Van Dyke: A British Virgin Islands idyll with white-sand beaches and the famous Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay.
